tomorrow my little boy will start a new adventure of his own. one that i won’t be there to fully watch. will he know what to do, what to say? will he have fun, make friends, get scared? what will he do if he gets embarrassed, or hurt, or lonely?

well i’m sure all those things and more will happen along the way.

and he will be ok.

yes, his independence from me grows just a little more tomorrow and i’m praying along with that his dependence on Jesus grows a little more too. i won’t be there to comfort him, protect him, watch over him but One greater than i will be.

and i know my dependence on Jesus will grow as well as i am daily reminded that He’s got him. the One who loves him and knows him more than me is with Him. He will be there like he always is but in a way that is new to us.

so i lay down my fears at His feet for He knows them all. i put my little boy in His Hands once again, but like never before.

tomorrow is the first day of kindergarten.

and he will be ok.

and so will i.
